People who buy into this philosophy are destined to waste money. You don't have to be on the latest and greatest in any tech category. Consider carefully what you need and don't try to 'keep up with the Joneses'. For those people who think they truly need a phone, consider Lineage OS - keeping a phone for a longer time is better on your pocketbook and better for the planet.

For a detailed look at Carr's fight against media, read our feature: "The speech police: Chairman Brendan Carr and the FCC's news distortion policy."
